Cloth, color and paint or dye, are inherent in art, painting and textiles. Today we see art set against a background of structure and history, but try not to.

One must always be prepared to add new aesthetic axioms, and not have the words mean more than the art.

These works are essentially visual, instead of representational, with color always at the forefront. Certain colors and shapes give memories and vibrations of certain movements or energy.

I¹m looking for images and colors that transform and represent things that make me fee. I cherish beautiful material effects, and try to create works that use a specific process to provoke an experience. It is the pleasure of experimentation. The actual experience of feeling the tactile, and the joy of colors ending against the back of your eyes. Such feelings become more important as I continue to work with cloth and pigment.
